  ah, that does, in fact, fix the missing "whoami" issue (i'm
fascinated that that glitch wasn't triggered until i asked for a FIT
image).

  however, i'm still getting this:

  is this not the correct way to specify a FIT image?

  KERNEL_IMAGETYPES_append = " fitImage"

it certainly seems to be from what i read in kernel-fitimage.bbclass:

python __anonymous () {
    kerneltypes = d.getVar('KERNEL_IMAGETYPES') or ""
    if 'fitImage' in kerneltypes.split():
        depends = d.getVar("DEPENDS")
        depends = "%s u-boot-mkimage-native dtc-native" % depends
        d.setVar("DEPENDS", depends)
